Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. No need to decant but best to open it half an hour before service. The prestigious burgundian winery maison louis jadot has been based in beaune since the mid-19th century today, it owns over 220 hectares of vineyards stretching from the côte d’or and the mâconnais to beaujolais. Maison louis jadot’s beaune premier cru is produced from a blend of pinot noir grapes sourced from several of the area’s 42 premier cru vineyards such as tuvilains, pertuisots, and sizies. Following harvest and vinification, the wine ages for 18 months in oak barrels before blending and bottling. In the glass, the wine reveals a brilliant color with pale ruby tones. Its aromatic profile is lively and fragrant, featuring notes of blueberry, plum, cherry, and raspberry, followed by floral and spicy nuances and earthy touches on the finish. On the palate, it is soft and round, with a medium body and fine, ripe tannins. It is juicy and concentrated, with well-balanced acidity and a long, complex, elegant finish. This wine has a distinctive character and can age well for a couple of decades, or be enjoyed now with roasted salmon, veal ossobuco, or game birds.
